Yes, that's what happens when you have the clown show D in front of you which Demko, Martin and Delia have had all season. A goalie who is not really talented and really mentally tough simply breaks down. Understand this, and you understand just how good Demko was last season before his injury... and how good Markstrom was in his last couple years in Van. Which is why I really don't want to see Demko rushed back into service... he needs to be 150% ready physically AND have an improved D in front of him. If Silov gets one or two games, it won't hurt him... he is probably more confident right now than either Martin or Delia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still though, if the culture is rotten then it be best to keep him away from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are probably bringing him up to give him an NHL paycheque as a good job. He might dress and back up a game, but I doubt the plan is to bring him in to get lit up behind our dog pooh team. That’s bad management Further to @D.B Cooper , Silov's minor league salary is about $1000 per game. His NHL salary is close to $10,000 per game. So this is a nice bonus ($9000) for a guy making $70,000 per year. Also, he gets a chance to get to know the players and coaches on the big team. It would not make sense, in my view, to play him against a strong Ranger team behind the Canuck D in it's current state. He has not even had a chance to practice with the big team to get a sense of how to coordinate with the skaters on dump-ins, etc. I expect Delia to start and Silovs to be the backup then return to Abby for the weekend. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard as much on 650 today. They're expecting Demko to back up in the Philly game on Saturday. That would give him as many as 5 games before the deadline. Does anybody think that's enough? Does anybody think they're serious about moving Demko? There's nothing to it imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakrami Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 0.906 in the AHL is most likely better than the way Martin's been playing. Not joking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDP was a 19yo OHL goalie who was playing on a very decent team, that got brought up because of poor management on an emergency basis, and played against a juggernaut of that time (Meier, Hertl, Thornton, Evander Kane, Karlsson, Burns, Pavelski etc..) behind a poor D group. Silovs is young but has shown promise at the professional level, and has (unlike MDP), absolutely no pressure and can focus solely on getting NHL reps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he wants out or they get an offer they can't turn down, I doubt the demko rumours have much merit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it would have to be an amazing offer I think for the Canucks to think about moving him. And I think it was our media creating the Demko wants out rumour.

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Not sure I expect him to get NHL game action, has been solid in the AHL, but I don't get the feeling he is ready to face NHL shooters. Don't want to break his confidence like this organization did with DiPietro. This is likely a call up to reward him for a solid past few months for Abbotsford, sit in the pressbox, see the game speed and soak in the NHL atmosphere while also making an NHL salary for a bit.

Exactly. Meet the players and have a few practices then back to Abby. He does not have to be shelled by the Rangers to learn something. He has something special shaping up in Abby. A long Calder run will do him and the other young players more good. When they send him down I hope they send Podz and Aman as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
